The chapter shows how European institutions and policies influenced the Italian dairy sector from the 1960s up to the new millennium. It illustrates in particular the effects of the Common Agricultural Policy on the productions and price of milk, the productive systems of the dairy sector, the market and the foreign competition for the Italian dairy products. All the decisions taken by the European institutions in fact modified the existing conditions of European dairy markets and obliged the dairy firms to adapt in order to function optimally and at the same time to maintain their fully competitiveness. As European institutions were conscious of the relevant influence of their choices and policies on the development of the dairy sector, so they also controlled different phases of dairy production and its quality labeling system Besides, the chapter shows how a relevant European institution, such as the European Investment Bank (EIB), helped the Italian dairy sector. The EIB in fact financed the improvement of the infrastructures which linked the Italian dairy factories to the European markets. Moreover, it partially financed the renewal of some dairy plants in the Southern Italy.

Abstract
The chapter shows how European institutions and policies influenced the Italian dairy sector from the 1960s up to the new millennium. It illustrates in particular the effects of the Common Agricultural Policy on the productions and price of milk, the productive systems of the dairy sector, the market and the foreign competition for the Italian dairy products. All the decisions taken by the European institutions in fact modified the existing conditions of European dairy markets and obliged the dairy firms to adapt in order to function optimally and at the same time to maintain their fully competitiveness. As European institutions were conscious of the relevant influence of their choices and policies on the development of the dairy sector, so they also controlled different phases of dairy production and its quality labeling system Besides, the chapter shows how a relevant European institution, such as the European Investment Bank (EIB), helped the Italian dairy sector. The EIB in fact financed the improvement of the infrastructures which linked the Italian dairy factories to the European markets. Moreover, it partially financed the renewal of some dairy plants in the Southern Italy.
